The following guide questions are used when deciding the purpose, form, and
interpretation of assessment.
 What information do you want to obtain from your learners?
 What specific learning target that you want to assess?
 Are you assessing learning progress or what learners have learned?
 Given your specific learning target, which form of assessment is appropriate
 How will you interpret the results if you do not have a set of norms?

The following guide questions are used when deciding on the function, kind of
learning and ability to be assessed.
 What information do you want to obtain from your learners?
 What specific learning target that you want to assess?
 Is there an available instrument to determine the information you want to know
about your learners?
 If you have an available standardized, do you want to determine what the
learners have learned or their potential future learning?
 If you have an available instrument, are you after their maximum performance?
 If you are using a standardized instrument, do you have a copy of the test
manual with available norms to interpret the score?
The following guide questions could help you to decide on which type of assessment
you need to conduct in your classroom. The following are illustrative scenarios. Provide
your answers to the questions based on the information presented.
 CASE A
A teacher in mathematics wanted to determine how well the learners have
learned their lesson on fractions. After two weeks of drills and exercises, the teacher
wanted to record how well the learners have learned about fractions. The specific
learning competencies taught by the teacher are (1) adding similar fractions and (2)
solving word problems involving the addition of similar fractions. The school has an
available standardized test on mathematics but it covers many topics aside from
fractions.
What information does the math teacher How well the learners have learned their

What is the specific learning target that (1) adding similar fractions and (2)
the math teacher wants to assess? solving word problems involving the
addition of similar fractions

CASE B
A school principal wanted to determine who among a group of applicants will be
admitted to the school. The principal wanted to determine if the learners have learned
well in their present grade level. The learners come from different schools, and it
assumed that they all learned the common standards as indicated in the national
curriculum. There is an available instrument in the school that determines the important
learning competencies based on the national curriculum.
